Jem Automatics and Tooling has partnered with FANUC to offer the newest full featured CNC Slides, powered by the 30i/31i/32i/35i Model B series CNC controllers, which provides power and flexibility for the most complex, high performance machines and the most demanding applications of today.

The "B" series compound slide design utilizes the same positive features of the "A" series slide, but in a completely self-contained package. The use of preloaded ball rails and ball screws provide a rigid, accurate assembly superior to traditional way type slides. On a conventional box type slide clearances are required to allow the slide to move. We use pre-loaded linear bearings that allow a smoother and more rigid cutting motion. This is important for cutting with carbide, especially at the lower surface speeds that multispindle screw machines operate at, and also allows forming! The use of torque limiting safety couplings on the ball screws protects the screw from being damaged in a collision. If a collision were to occur, the coupling disengages, signaling the control to shut down the machine. Resetting the coupling and homing the slide gets the machine back in operation.

The compact design of the "B" series CNC slide permits the user to configure their machine in a way to utilize the maximum capability of standard tooling and attachments. For the intermediate positions the "B" series compound slide can be mounted on a heavy-duty shelf type base. In the upper positions a compound slide can be put in place of the standard cross slide, leaving enough room for use of the standard (with minor modifications) threading / reaming die slide attachment. Also the compound slide could be put in place of the die slide, leaving the standard cross slide in place. Finally, two compound slide assemblies could be mounted side by side in the same spindle position, putting four axis to work at the same time. This would permit the user to single point contour or thread O.D. and I.D. simultaneously. For the lower positions the heavy duty "A" series compound slide is available.
